Before Fang Sheng and the two disciples from the God of War Academy could react, Ling Xiao had already begun searching for spoils from the Demon King's body.
However, what disappointed Ling Xiao was that this Demon King was simply a pauper. He had nothing except a magic crystal.
Ling Xiao guessed that this guy was probably seriously injured before, and basically all the precious treasures were used by him to heal his wounds.
However, this magic crystal can be exchanged for 10,000 contribution points, which is better than nothing!
"Brother Fang, why are you here?"
Ling Xiao put away the magic crystal, then walked over and looked at Fang Sheng with a faint smile.
Speaking of which, Ling Xiao has a good impression of Fang Sheng. Although his talent is not top-notch, he has a firm heart for martial arts and great perseverance. He can spend a decade to build a perfect foundation and even delay his cultivation. Such a person is much stronger than those who have strong talents but weak minds.
Ling Xiao will need a team like this if he wants to enter the Temple of War God in the future.
"Junior Brother Long, I am so grateful for your kindness! If you need me in the future, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Fang Sheng clasped his fists towards Ling Xiao and said sincerely.
The two disciples from the God of War Academy also thanked Ling Xiao.
"We are all fellow disciples, no need to be polite! What on earth has happened in the past two years?"
Ling Xiao waved his hand and asked curiously.
He has been in seclusion for two years, but looking at the appearance of this Demon King, I am afraid that a lot of things have happened in the God and Demon Space in the past two years.
"Junior Brother Long, we are also here to train in the God and Demon Space! Where have you been these past two years? We almost thought you had died at the hands of a powerful demon! A lot of things have happened in the God and Demon Space in the past two years, and the human race and the demon race have experienced several major battles..."
Fang Sheng slowly told Ling Xiao the story.
As Fang Sheng told the story, Ling Xiao finally understood what had happened in the God and Demon Space in the past two years.
Speaking of which, the source was the battle in Tianmo Valley two years ago. Bo Jie was severely injured and the two great demons were killed, which caused the wrath of the demon world.
In the past two years, the war between humans and demons has been quite fierce, and most of the wars have been concentrated near the ancient city of Taizhong, so many disciples from the five major academies have entered the space of gods and demons to train.
Although the human race and the demon race suffered damage to each other, the strength of the disciples of the five major academies increased rapidly through this kind of training!
This time, Fang Sheng brought a few fellow apprentices here for training. Unexpectedly, they had the bad luck to meet this Demon King. Several of his fellow apprentices were killed by him. Fang Sheng and the other two fled all the way. If they had not met Ling Xiao, they would have probably died at the hands of the Demon King.
After finishing his speech, Fang Sheng looked around vigilantly and said, "Junior Brother Long, let's hurry back to Taizhong Ancient City. The battle just now was too intense. We might have been discovered by the demons! Oh, take the body of the Demon King with you. You can go to Taizhong Ancient City to claim the reward!"
"Okay! Let's leave now! What do you mean by claiming the reward?"
Ling Xiao collected the body of the Demon King, and then rushed towards the direction of Taizhong Ancient City with Fang Sheng and the other two. When he heard about the reward, Ling Xiao asked curiously.
As Fang Sheng hurried on his way, he explained, "Two years ago, this Demon King slipped through the net. During this period, he killed many powerful people of the human race. Therefore, the five major academies issued a bounty order in Taizhong Ancient City. Anyone who kills this Demon King can get a reward of 100 drops of holy liquid!"
"One hundred drops of holy fluid?"
Ling Xiao's eyes lit up.
This Demon King is really valuable. I didn’t expect that the five major academies would spend a hundred drops of holy liquid at once. They are indeed very wealthy.
One hundred drops of holy liquid might be enough for a powerful person who has reached the perfection of Heavenly God Realm to break through to God King Realm!
With these one hundred drops of holy liquid, Ling Xiao can at least reach one small realm.
This is indeed a pleasant surprise.
…
Not long after Ling Xiao and the other two left, several figures flew across the sky and appeared at the place where Ling Xiao and the Demon King were fighting.
They were three young men wearing dark green robes, each of them had a strong build, a powerful aura, and extremely cold eyes. They were all powerful men in the late stage of the Heavenly God Realm!
Moreover, these three people are disciples of Da Zhou College.
"Is this... the aura of the Demon King? Did someone just kill the Demon King?"
"That should be right! Someone killed the Demon King and took his body away. It seems that someone wants to take the Demon King's body to claim the reward!"
"Then what should we do? Are we just going to give up like that? That's a hundred drops of holy fluid!"
"I heard that the Demon King was severely injured and is now very weak. Maybe someone took advantage of him. Let's catch up and take a look! If he is really a powerful person, then forget it! If he is very weak, then take the Demon King's body and we will claim the reward!"
"Good idea! It's settled, let's go!"
The three disciples from Da Zhou Academy talked to each other for a while, and their eyes showed extremely greedy looks.
That's one hundred drops of holy liquid. Even if it's divided equally among the three of them, it's enough to push their cultivation to perfection in the Heavenly God Realm.
In the end, greed overcame reason, and they followed the auras of their followers and quickly caught up!
…
Although Ling Xiao and the other two were also flying towards Taizhong Ancient City at a very fast speed, their speed was not fast because Fang Sheng and the two disciples from the God of War Academy were injured.
"Um?"
There was a flash of sharpness in Ling Xiao's eyes, and he heard three sounds of breaking through the air coming at him at a very fast speed behind him.
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Three young men wearing dark green robes, with powerful auras and cold and arrogant looks, chased after them in an instant and directly stopped Ling Xiao and the other two!
"Disciples of the War God Academy? You are the ones who killed the Demon King?"
The leading disciple from Da Zhou Academy glanced indifferently at Ling Xiao and the other three, with a hint of strangeness in his eyes.
He saw that among Ling Xiao and the other three, Fang Sheng, who had the strongest cultivation, was only in the middle stage of the Heavenly God Realm, while the other three, including Ling Xiao, were in the early stage of the Heavenly God Realm, and three of them were injured.
Based on the bloodstains and breath on Ling Xiao and the other three, he instantly determined that the Demon King's body was most likely on these four people!
"Brother, why are you blocking our way?"
Fang Sheng looked at the three people in front of him calmly and asked.
"I won't waste any more time talking to you! Hand over the body of the Demon King and we'll leave immediately! Otherwise, you'll probably suffer a lot!"
The leading disciple from Da Zhou Academy spoke indifferently, with a condescending attitude.
In their opinion, the three disciples of the God of War Academy in front of them had low cultivation levels and were all injured. They simply did not have the strength to kill the real Demon King. Perhaps the Demon King was too seriously injured and they took advantage of him.
Therefore, they had no psychological burden at all in extorting the Demon King's corpse from them!
